Hey! They new wikidumps are there! :D

Well, looks like I won't have to be worried about the possibility of our latest conversations and main page notifications being lost after all. (smiles cheerfully)

Alright! I just downloaded and checked all 10 wikidumps and they are all good!

If you wonder, why I said 10 wikidumps instead of just 5, well I can answer that: Of each wiki, there's 2 dumps. One dump has the full history of all pages, while the other one only features the current revisions of all pages.

I am saving both, so we can make sure, that we always have at least one working version.

Also restoring a wiki from a wikidump is way less time intense than restoring it from our manual backups.

While our manual backups feature every revision, too, you still know how fast a computer can go through a list in comparision to a person. Even a fast typing coder like myself can't go through a list of hundreds of pages in a handful of hours. You probably remember how creating a list of all files of all 5 wikis took me about a month and I was working on it almost every day for many hours. ^^'

Okay. We are set and ready to keep going!

I'll probably finish the KDZ related video thumbnails later this night and will keep working on uploading the thumbnails and their descriptions, as well as the video archive and the corresponding feature tomorrow and over the course of this week.

If everything goes well, we might be able to restore our latest wikidumps over at the new server next week.

Like Zenki said, we don't know how long it will take for our new site to go online, but we are working towards it. :)
